Tips mention: Interview (0), ACT/SAT (21), Grades (18), Sports/Extracurriculars (9), College Essay (10)“I got really goodJun 23 2004Engineering Department
I got really good grades, played sports, and kicked butt on the ACT. When you are out of state, it is hard to get into a university without good grades and some extracurricular activities. I would definitly find out about scholarship opportunities. I missed the deadline for them, when I knew I could have gotten one. What I will say is that A&M is very poor at providing their out of state students with information including opportunities such as scholarships, so you are going to have to do the work yourself. Good luck!

make good grades but also make sure you are well-rounded. Get involved, do volunteer work, learn who YOU are so you can convey that to someone else. Make sure you have done all of your pre-req course work.

“The best piece of advice it to visit theJan 19 2004Social Work
The best piece of advice it to visit the campus early as well as participate in some recruiting events, whether it be Corps of Cadets, Academic, etc as it shows that you are motivated for the school. It is very competitive with the top 10% rule, but if you aren't there you still have a chance to get it. Another option would be Blinn Team (a community college) where you are co-enrolled.

Be in the top 10% or score over a 1500 on your SAT's. I did both. If you don't do either make really good grades, be very involved in SOMETHING (but not EVERYTHING), and write a very good essay.
